...Get a look at the ICOM R-9500 receiver Owners Manual, in PDF format

almost an incredible 200 Pages...WOW
This receiver is amazing..it does everything except wash your car and
win you the lottery (which you'll need if you hope to buy one).

Probably be hard in a " blind shortwave test" to differentiate between
this one
an R8
& an Icom R75

Okay folks.........get ready for yet another round of the R75 vs R8
debate.

- As to the blind test I would be more than happy to participate,
- I'll bring an R75, 100 feet of wire and an ICE 182 along with
- some rope & insulators etc to put up the test antenna. *

GH - For a 'true' Side-by-Side using one Antenna you will
need some sort of an Antenna Splitter/Combiner :

SNIP

Unlike yourself most people have this sort of thing figured out already
and it would comprise of more than passive splitters but thanks for
trying.
